📖🎶 What if music could tell a story—without saying a single word?

That's the question our Homeschool Explorers will be discovering this fall in Storytelling Through Music!

Over six weeks, children won't just learn about music—they'll experience how music can make us imagine a character, feel a mood, picture a scene, or even tell an entire story.

We'll crawl through The Very Hungry Caterpillar, race with The Tortoise and the Hare, meet the animals of Camille Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals, explore the wonderfully expressive music of the Romantic Period, and eventually give students the chance to become musical storytellers themselves. ❤️

And, as always, the heart of Homeschool Explorers is giving children the opportunity to make music themselves.

🎹 Piano learning at each child's level
🥁 Rhythm, movement & active listening
🎻 Composers & music history
📖 Creativity, stories & musical discovery
🎶 No previous musical experience needed

Our hope isn't simply that children learn more about music. We want them to leave each session a little more curious, a little more confident, and excited to discover what they're capable of.

Storytelling Through Music begins in September!

📅 Mondays, September 14–October 19
11:00 AM–12:00 PM OR 12:00–1:00 PM

We'll see you next week!
Just a quick reminder that both of our studio locations (Stafford and Virginia Beach) will be closed this week, May 25 - 30, for an extended Memorial Day break.

We hope everyone enjoys some extra family time and relaxation. We look forward to seeing everyone back in lessons when classes resume the following week!

As always, please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Warmly,
Susan & The Music Studio Team

Good evening from Florence Italy!🇮🇹

This is a picture from a friend's recent travels, thought we all might like, given the music studios! On the left is one of the (if not the) first piano/piano design in history!
